The Mark Of The Beast III


For God has not appointed us to [incur His] wrath [He did not select us to condemn us], but [that we might] obtain [His] salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) 1 Thessalonians 5:9

The next Truth to remember about the mark of the beast is that all who take the mark are going to receive the wrath of our Father, and we have not been appointed unto our Fathers wrath. So everything that we read about in Revelation, the plagues, the wars, the hunger, the demonic attacks, and the destruction, which are all our Father's wrath, are not for us. These things will never touch us, just as the plagues, diseases, and destruction from our Father towards Pharaoh never touched the Israelites at the end of their captivity in Egypt.

The Truth however is that many of us will be killed by the forces of the anti-christ and false prophet during the Great Tribulation. A great many of us will be killed! But that is alright, Stephen was killed for being used by our Father and as he was being stoned the Holy Spirit caused Him to shine like the Sun as he forgave those who were doing it. Jesus was killed for the Truth’s sake and He cried out for the forgiveness of those who were doing it to Him. Paul was stoned, beaten, and imprisoned for the Truth and the Holy Spirit caused Him to count it as all glory! John and Peter were beaten and they were empowered by the Spirit to rejoice for the honor of it. The Body of Christ has always been killed for the Truth’s sake and we will be killed during the Great Tribulation as well. But we will not endure any of the wrath of our Father during this time, not one little bit of it. So the plagues, diseases, famines, wars, natural disasters, water shortages, and demonic attacks will never be felt by the true children of God during the Great Tribulation.

But the woman was supplied with the two wings of a giant eagle, so that she might fly from the presence of the serpent into the desert (wilderness), to the retreat where she is to be kept safe and fed for a time, and times, and half a time (three and one-half years, or 1,260 days). Revelation 12:14

The mark of the beast brings our Father’s wrath and we are free from His wrath. So during the last 3 1/2 years of this age of the earth we will be used miraculously and powerfully to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom to every nation, tribe, and tongue.
